The recent lab-test demonstration from the University of Houston of an inexpensive and non-toxic nanofluid, made up of sodium, can efficiently recover 80% of high viscosity oil from reservoirs. This enormous improvement in the recovery percentage gives noble hopes of using nanofluids for the enhanced oil recovery system.
